Are cellphones dangerous?

Respected oncologist and professor of environmental mutagenesis, Angelo Gino Levis, and Dr Giuseppe Grasso gave evidence that electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile and cordless phones can damage cells, making tumours more likely. Some time last year, Bakgatla called an expert to come and talk about the effects of radiation from cellphone towers. At the time the expert indicated that indeed radiation from the towers can be dangerous. This information was quickly denied by authorities here.

With this ruling which has a scientific basis, we wonder what the authorities here have to say now. Probably more has to be done in terms of educating the general public about the good and the bad of cellphones. It is always confusing when information comes in drips and drapes.
